Great navigation 5/5

By Joanbcle

Great directions. Clear & precise. Thank you so much!
I would stay lost without it

Rere 4/5

By ReRe2737

Love it The directions are awesome. I like that it gives 3 routes to choose from.

Accurate 5/5

By xmaclaren

More accurate than Google maps

Map Quest 5/5

By Ms. Arkansas

The only map I use when traveling

I love it! 5/5

By WCIP

I love what I see of this app. In full disclosure I forget to use it as often as I maybe should. I’ve been such an avid user of one of the one competitors, however I love how I can start this app easily from wherever I want. I will be taking a 400 mile, unfamiliar trip today. I’ll update my review afterwards.

Unimpressive 1/5

By Skmiddleton1

I added the app to be able to calculate distances between specific addresses WHEN I AM NOT THERE. It seems incapable of doing this. I used to use this app for this all the time. What a waste of effort. Deleting app now.

Awful 1/5

By Kcrow73

Out of state map was horrible!! Tried to get to a hotel in RI ended up in a sketchy area closed down industrial park. In PA we ended up completely lost. Worst mapping ever!

Love it! 4/5

By Gamer-for-life

Better and google maps and Apple maps. I've used google and it's taken me out of the way where as Map Quest saves me up to 3-15 minutes at any given time.

Review 5/5

By Mks8310

Love Mapquest! I prefer it over Google Maps every time.

Excellent on directions 4/5

By ChicagoOWL

I don't have much data on my cell plan, but it is good to check directions before I go.

Amazing 5/5

By jhfuhfy

This is is just plain good to use when trying to find a place wheee yoy have not gone before. Love it.

Very helpful 4/5

By Andipr

I used this app to make a 14 hour drive. It was very helpful. It would be helpful if the directions to make turns was given a little earlier than they presently are given

A great app 5/5

By sjw2459

It’s a pleasure to use, easy to follow

Love Mapquest 5/5

By MimiCRNA

Sometimes the GPS in my car is inaccurate. I can always count on mapquest to get me where I need to go

Travel info 5/5

By Lover if the Word

Just looking up basic travel info, time and distance to destination, was very helpful. Only wanting to get an idea of how long it might take and general directions for various travels.

Great for shortest route, along with normal routing 5/5

By DllHell

As an EV driver, as well as someone who likes to take “the road less traveled”, I appreciate having the option of the shortest route when needed. Waze and the other apps have needlessly removed this option over time, and so I went looking for a good nav app that also shows “shortest”.
MapQuest fits the bill perfectly. One of its route options always seems to show the shortest route, which is perfect when I need it. It also shows upcoming turns with a green circle, which is nice.
All in all a solid nav app with plenty of features that is one of the few (if not the only) one left that does shortest routing. Please don’t take that away!

Love this App 5/5

By Dbutchko

MapQuest by far is thee best app for routing via gps, period!

Mapquest 5/5

By Sider469

I find this app to be very reliable and user friendly so far.

Great app! 5/5

By Booleelee

Much better than the one that comes with the iPhone or my car. They always take me the longest way possible!

So complicatedly simple & simply the best... 5/5

By PaulOtis

I kind of a gps freak. Installed Apps...
Apple Maps-Simply the worst (Telemaps)
Google Maps-Good to very good
Waze-Good to very good & it does provide social traffic interaction.
•And then there is Mapquest... Best!
This application is simply excellent.
A lot of times I want to put in a destination, not my current location & work out my route or see where someone is on find friends so I can judge the time of the arrival. MQ makes it so easy.
Every other just doesn’t seem to have this Get Directions feature. Thank you!

Garbage; no way to login & see saved maps 1/5

By BillDavis

There is seriously no wY to log in and access your saved maps? What idiot designed this? Do you often take your laptop or desktop in your car for navigation? No, you take your iPhone or iPad....which would make accessing saved maps/routes a VITAL feature. Yet is is not there.

Great app 5/5

By Joseph Arturo

Nice app, I use this app all the time when I go to places. I would like to suggest an alarm or the navigator telling you your going over the speed limit, but everything else, amazing.

Greatest navigation app 5/5

By Sellbk

This is the greatest navigation app ever made!!

Mapquest 5/5

By Richardandrew1

I have used this app for a year now and it works great,

Way better than the big “G” 5/5

By AugDog5512

I love the format and how there are usually 2 to 3 separate routes to choose from. It’s very user friendly. I just got it recently & need to move it to page 1 of my apps!

Excelente!!! 5/5

By BURRUFALO

El mapa es muy útil. Ahorro tiempo y trabajo. Gracias

Mel 5/5

By ????????2016

I’m very pleased with Mapquest!!! So much easier and less confusing than Fords sync.
Don’t need Fords $150 upgrade either!!!

Follow me 4/5

By Greg Seyer

Would be perfect app if.... When you was not navigating. Your map icon or map would go the same way you was!!! Or am I missing a option?

Mapquest 5/5

By Pam Milner

I love this app. It’s accurate and detailed information. I use it all the time.
Thanks,

House shopping helper 4/5

By Xandrasdaughter

I use this app almost daily to estimate driving time from new houses to my husbands work. I think it’s accurate, but have noticed that the driving times are often different if I reverse the destinations. And while driving to houses one afternoon it directed us to the middle of a highway. Were able to find the house using a different app.

Working for me 5/5

By poiemarms

Best maps app I’ve used to date.

Big fan 5/5

By Marketing Mensa

Mapquest is the only well known app which provides oral navigation and map, with an option of switching back and forth to a verbal list.
So helpful if u want to get a sense of where u r vis a vis specific locations
Mapquest is my go-to navigator

Can’t live without it! 5/5

By PeggySue2017

Used it for trip across the USA and back again and whenever I go anywhere in small trips also. Love knowing how much further we need to go and able to map out our route.

Very nice app, I’ve used it for years. 4/5

By Bramble12

This is still my go-to app. It reorients itself well when I don’t follow its instructions because there’s an unforeseen development. It usually gives good directions. Highly recommended.

Great job 5/5

By Big smooth Que

Four thumbs up

Does not work any more 3/5

By Bearman001

I use this app on a daily basis but can’t now because of the new upgrade.

Loyal to MapQuest 5/5

By DuckZillah

Love it! I’m on a road trip with my sister and niece. We left Northern California and we’re headed to Houston, Texas. MapQuest has gotten us through when my sister’s Google Maps wanted us to do an illegal U-turn in the middle of heavy traffic. I’ve been loyal to MQ for years. It’s always gotten me where I need to go with no trouble.

Not working 2/5

By Do ga

Just updated and it's failing (not working)

Used to love it 1/5

By SRoseR333

I used to love this app. Before the update. Now you can’t use it to get ANYWHERE! Constantly being told the route can’t be calculated, or alternative routes can’t be calculated, among other error messages.

Unreal 1/5

By YviBee

Every time I use this app it gets me lost. It used to be my go to app but lately it has been failing me miserably. I’m new to TX and this app doesn’t take into account roads that are closed, different exits that are closed NOTHING! If I’m going somewhere simple and 15mins away it’s ok, even though it takes me all out the way to get there, I still get there, but if it’s out of town, forget about it! I’m trying to find an alternate app to use because mapquest isn’t worth opening up anymore!

Google maps 1/5

By 9845

I am so disappointed that you would change your Maps from your own to basically a slightly modify google map. Why don’t you keep things the way they were? If we want Google Maps we can use Google maps.

Mr ALFREDO SERRANO 5/5

By Mrlovelove

Awesome

Traffic 1/5

By Steelers fan in Waldorf, MD

With the newest update, you made all the major highways/routes in an orange color; however, the color you are using for low traffic volume, which is yellow, it is very hard do differentiate the two. You have to look extremely close to see a yellow line over top of the orange line to see where traffic is slow. Very disappointed. Will switch to Waze from now on.

Generally ok 4/5

By Tremommy

I use MQ all the time driving through/across Central FL. Most of the time it is great...but yesterday I was in new area with lots of traffic looking for a certain shop, and it took me to a very scary area in the back of the shopping center (an the store I was looking for was nowhere around!)...it has some issues with telling me at the last minute to turn off I-4 (no way to get across 4 lanes of construction traffic-with every speed between stopped and 80mph-safely). Also in an area I'm familiar with and know there is a shorter way, it doesn't even give that option. Good for avoiding tolls though!

My sidekick 5/5

By Chutrool

Without a doubt, the best map program I’ve ever used.

Traveling 5/5

By scorpio_diva47

Excellent app!!!!!

Mapquest 4/5

By mariothabest

Not bad

Requires location services. 1/5

By mm492

I've used this app many times and for the most part it has been quite helpful. Since the latest update, I can't even search for the distance between two places without it asking for my location. I have chosen to keep location services turned off. If I enter a particular address or location, why do you still need my current location? Please respect people's right to privacy and change this, because right now this app is useless to me.
Update 2/27/18: Even with yesterday's update to version 5.13.4, you STILL ask for my location! If it's not needed for the directions I want, why do you keep asking? I have deleted this app and will not reinstall it until you respect people's privacy and stop asking for location services!

Mapquest 4/5

By Cavs1983

Awesome!! It could be better than it is now. But improvements are always good!!

Only 2 Routes, None the Shortest 3/5

By mhpdfp

Took several try’s to get it to take a route as it does not assume your starting point is where you are currently at. Not really a flaw just different than the other navigation apps. Gave two fastest routes but not the shortest which is always faster due to traffic on the other routes. Had to force it not to use those routes by using the no toll road option. If your only going to give 2 options why not the fastest and the shortest? An extra hypothetical ten minute time saving on a 5 hour trip isn’t worth $$ tolls and additional miles on my vehicle.
